Browse free construction leads from live planning applications across the UK — no account, no credit card, no shared leads. LeadLinka indexes 300+ council planning portals daily and surfaces every new build, commercial development, residential extension and industrial project as soon as it is validated. Search by location, keyword or trade, and find work before it reaches any tender platform.
LeadLinka is free to browse. Every planning application on this page is pulled directly from the public planning registers of 300+ UK councils and is visible without creating an account. That includes new builds, commercial developments, residential extensions, loft conversions, change-of-use conversions, industrial units, prior approval notices and more — all filtered to surface the projects most likely to require a contractor before works begin.
The difference between LeadLinka and other free contractor lead sites is timing. Most services sell leads after the homeowner or developer has already asked for quotes — you're competing with two or three other companies from the first conversation. LeadLinka surfaces projects at planning application stage, which is typically 3–6 months before tender. You find the opportunity first, make contact early, and build a relationship before your competitors are even aware the job exists.

Most free lead sites give you shared leads — the client has already requested multiple quotes and you're competing on price from the first call. LeadLinka surfaces planning applications at validation stage, which is typically 3–6 months before any tender. You get first-mover advantage on every lead.
